What would Carrie Bradshaw think? First look at Sarah Jessica Parker in her new HBO TV show

Ever since we heard the news that Sarah Jessica Parker would be returning to our screens in new HBO TV series Divorce we've been waiting to see photos of the costumes. Would the star be dressed in Carrie Bradshaw-eqsue towering heels, tutu skirts and statement jewellery? Or would she be making a complete departure from her famous character?

If these first photos of the show being filmed in Downtown Manhattan are anything to go by, the star has gone for a much more laid-back look than her Sex and the City character. In the first photo she can be seen heading down the street in a casual wool coat over a patterned dress layered with grey tights and classic pumps, topped off with a tote bag and black stud earrings.

And in the second photo to emerge from the filming, the A-lister has paired an oversized grey cardigan with baggy navy trousers and leather ankle boots.

As well as starring in the show, SJP is also the executive producer of Divorce, a comedy series which will follow her character Frances as she contemplates leaving her husband. The series is set to air next year.
